The "I Can't Believe There's No Abortion Thread" Part Deux: Electric Boogaloo

Kansas continues its slow climb back from the abyss of 10 years ago, soundly rejecting a constitutional amendment that would've opened the door to banning abortion. The state Supreme Court had found the state constitution guaranteed the right.

The GOP backers intentionally put it on primary day, thinking lower turnout would help them. Oops. The amendment drove turnout, with nearly 20% more votes on that question than the combined gubernatorial primary races.

Apparently the urban counties spiked in turnout. 538 has a good piece on all of the results.

What this could mean is the Republicans double down and get even more extreme, and also become a smaller percentage of the electorate.
 
Yeah that was a helluva stat. Apparently Virginia and a few other states might be seeing the same numbers...

Every. Blue. And . Purple. State. Should. Put. This. On. The. Ballot.

I respectfully disagree (I'm also not sure if you're fully serious).

If even one state loses the right which was in question, it wasn't worth it.

I'm not sure there's a blue state that would vote against it if put to the people. Purple might be dicier in some cases.

No Blue State will vote against it. Use Minnesota as an example.

Purple is a bit risky but not as much as you think. Abortion drives the middle to the polls and flips women blue as a block.

You want to prevent a Red Wave...you need to motivate the unmotivated to vote. Putting their rights on the ballot does that in spades.

I should probably caveat...if it is Purple trending towards Blue do it. Trending Red probably not.

Roe upped registration and turnout which was +8 Dems. This is why prior to Trump they GOP never wanted Roe gone...

Reproductive freedom is most likely going on the ballot in Michigan this fall. My fiance and I both signed the petition. They submitted over 300,000 more signatures than is required, so that should be more than enough valid signatures to cover any that get thrown out.

While I think Walz will beat Jensen handily anyways, if abortion was on the ballot he would smoke him Klobuchar style.

The way to beat the complacency of Midterm Elections is to goose the voters. Give them something to inspire them to show up.

Someone mentioned last night that after the Kansas loss you might see GOPers keep abortion out of ads in hotly contested elections because it is a net loser for them. They will focus on inflation. If that comes to pass (and it might not who knows) the Dems should put it in every ad. They should anyways but especially in that case.
 
it makes sense that the conservatives who accuse us of child murder are the actual child murderers, just as they are the actual pedophiles and the actual election stealers.
 
Indiana must have felt a lot of shame after helping the 10 year old rape victim from Ohio. To make themselves feel better they’ve passed a near total ban.
 
Wow, who knew intelligent people want to live where they can access medical care?

some people just can’t grasp that they aren’t the “silent majority” they think they are
